Well, peeps, I want to give thanks tonight for my improved fitness, the increase in energy, the decrease in aches and pains and stiffness, the weight loss (of course), and the fact that I can be busy and it doesn't fry my brain. I've just come back from a bracing walk in the drizzle with my dogs after a full 8 hour day at work and I am feeling good! I'm looking forward to chilling out after what's been a very busy week. I've been on the go all day every day since Tuesday, including giving an interview on BBC Radio Scotland to promote a project I'm involved in getting off the ground:

(please note it's not an AOS project - that's an editorial error). The interview was broadcast (in a highly edited version, of course!) around 1 pm on Tuesday and I missed it - and it's not available on BBC iPlayer. Grrr! The project will be launched in about a fortnight.
So after more or less working a full-time week, it's even more remarkable that I feel good right now. I'm not saying I don't get tired nor that I feel 100% well again but I do feel good. And very grateful.
So I want to give thanks to God for that.
More about this week's progress later this evening.

This is the story of my weight loss through the Lighter Life programme, Diet Chef and The Cambridge Diet, and of my charity fundraising through sponsorship of my weight loss. I originally aimed to lose 3 stone and to raise £2000 by the end of April 2009. In the end I lost a grand total of 4 stone 4.5 lbs but raised only £375...
Very disappointing. So now I'd like to try to raise £2000 by the time I've lost my target amount, 11 stone or 154 lbs. I'm now well over halfway there, but there's still lots of time and opportunity for YOU to sponsor me. Yes, YOU! Please help me reach my target!
Many of you generously helped me with the costs of Lighter Life Foundation, 10 weeks of Development and 2 weeks of Route to Management - THANK YOU! As I moved onto firstly Diet Chef, then The Cambridge Diet, and now onto real food, there's no longer any need to donate towards the costs of my weight loss.
